Former six term congressperson from Georgia, Cynthia McKinney, somehow convinced Green Party Delegates at their convention in Chicago to nominate her as their candidate for the General Election. In past years, the Green Party has supported career candidate Ralph Nader. But, McKinney to represent the party is just crazy or better yet weird.
Let's look at Cynthia McKinney's political activity in the last eight years. First, she attempted to get Congressional support to look into the murder of hip hop gangsta rap star Tupac Shakir. Her argument was that he was a popular and important figure. Well, sister-girl, A. Philip Randolph, Harry T. Moore, Paul Robeson and Claude Barnett are popular and important historical figures--not Tupac. Secondly, she attacked Congressional Police Officer Paul McKenna because he did not recognize her as being a member of Congress. What happened, is that she attempted to enter The Longworth House Office Building without her Congressional Lapel Badge in display. The officer asked her several times to stop when the former congressperson walked away after she bypassed the metal detectors. Ultimately, the officer had to grab her arm; she responded by attacking him with closed fist. Later she apologized for her actions--but, did not take responsibility for the affair. Rather, she passed it off as part of elaborate Bush-Jewish conspiracy to destroy her. Thirdly, in the days after the terrorist attack on New York--the 9/11 affair. She wrote a letter to Saudi Prince Alwaleed asking him to give her the $10 million dollar check that New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani refused for the reconstruction of the Big Apple. The letter begged the supporter of terrorist prince for the bag of gold to help poor Black Americans in their quest to be free and equal. Well, all McKinney had to do, if she was sincere, ask a few of the multi-millionaire Black rap stars that she likes to forgo a few pieces of their bling, cars, and lavish trips to donate $10 million dollars that she requested. But, instead she reduced her role as a congressional leader to a dog sniffing for pieces of discarded garbage. In addition, it must be noted that the Prince later gave $100 million to the terrorist group Hamas for activities in Israel, England and the United States. The fourth point--is that she aligned with some of the most racist and anti-American domestic groups one could find. For instance, Malik Zulu Shabazz, head of the New Black Panther Party, became an informal adviser to the Georgian politician. Plus, members of the Nation of Islam campaigned for her while granting her protection. Indeed, Cynthia know how pick friends and associates.
Cynthia McKinney is a wild and loose canon. Her politics is based on confrontation, hostility and arrogance. Her principles are divisive that does not align with the Green Party's doctrine on Peace, Universal Health Care, Election Reform, Corporate Globalization, Alternative Energy, Election Reform and decent living wages for Americans. It is very difficult to understand how the Green Party can go from Nader to McKinney. That is one weird move.

Dear Vibert,
She must indeed be persuasive to have convinced the Green Party to run her with her resume. Some people use all of their wit and guile to do evil and be subversive. Ms. McKinney must pursuade us that she is not. I don't think that will work with folks like you telling the truth.
Go for it, my friend!
